Hi all, this is my post for the Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amyscreativeside. Hope you like the quilt!

Megan and I had babies together (2 days apart) about 3 and a half years ago, right about the time we started quilting. Well we have since each had baby boys. She has a darling boy named Oliver, and that is who I made this quilt for. I titled this quilt:

Oliver Fields

I went with this color combination because Megan had totally played the brown and blue with her first baby. Our Mom made a blue and green quilt for him. I ended up loving this combination, and right now it totally reminds me of the fall leaves.

It is a mix of Modern and traditional (as many of our quilts are). I did an irish chain quilt down one side, with some giant turned under circles on the right, with some bias strips for the branches.

Our Aunt Wendy did the quilting. She always does beautiful amazing work! I love the medallion in the center of the circles.

And just check out how darling her little Oliver is. Way cuter than this quilt!

Starting NOW for 1 week only we are having a fall sale on all our patterns.Click on the image to head to our shop!

After you make your purchase, just leave in the message to seller letting us know which pattern you would like for free! Easy Peasy. Two for the price of one.

Oliver Fields is in the final stages of editing and being printed. We are selling pre-orders for this pattern currently.

You're so right about the Autumn colors, while I don't think of using color combinations like this most of the time I do find myself reaching for quilts I've made in the past in this color scheme this time of year. How darling your boys are so close in age.
